Hi John -
My experience is that the ams environments (align, align*, aligned, alignat, etc) are more powerful and work better than eqnarray, both when compiling with latex (the spacing looks more natural, to my eye at least) and in latex2html. Is that an acceptable workaround for you? Have you tried it? Their syntax is very similar, so it shouldn't be a difficult change to put into
the latex source...

ps - an unrelated point, but, apparently, no one has yet taken a crack at solving the subequations problem I reported to this mailing list (on 24 Oct). That one is seriously in my way, I can't put my book online unless I find a workaround for this problem - it seems like this is not an unreasonable thing for latex2html to be able to handle? Unfortunately, I don't seem to have the savvy to do it myself...

When processing \eqnarray environments, l2h right justifies the equations to near the center of the screen using the WIDTH="50%" HTML tag (HTML version 4.0 onwards. In earlier versions, eqns are right justified to the right of the screen). However, this does not emulate the behaviour of latex. Latex right justifies the equations such that the longest equation is CENTERED on the screen (paper). To emulate this behaviour you would need to do a calculation to figure out what percentage for WIDTH is needed then use WIDTH= X %. It cannot simply be set to 50%.

The current behavour with 50% means that long equations will start near the left of the screen which is not consistent with \equation formulas which are centered. The result can be quite jarring.

Any chance of improving this? :-)
